I dont believe anyone in this group recommends or suggests that anyone
at any establishment consume excess quantities of alchohol and then
DRIVE.... we are all aware of the severe reprecussions of such
activity.
I believe there are many many casino patrons who either consume only a
small quantity of drinks over the time they are at the casino or they
have another member of thier party that is driving, and then thier
consumpsion level is not going to effect anyone (just thier liver).
All smoking in all public places effects EVERYONE around the smoker,
everytime.
